Results of the projection exercise seem to indicate that there is a probable likelihood of a rise in fatal accidents in nuclear power plants in the absence of incremental safety culture.
Two key take-home messages can be drawn from this projection exercise.
Prior to projection exercise we had to make some calculations regarding the mortality, the retirement and the migration of FPs.
Therefore, estimates should be interpreted with caution, and as any other projection exercise, estimations should be revised at any time, if new data is available.
The objective of the projection exercise was therefore to compute the future workforce required to maintain the current equilibrium by taking into account evolving supply and demand trends.
In this projection exercise, we assumed that all women would derive the same level of benefit from cytologic screening irrespective of age and other risk characteristics in adopting the IARC figures (IARC Working Group, 1986).
For services that were not covered by THS 2004, mostly relating to assessment and care management as well as HA services, we carried out the projection exercise based on past trends of utilisation and unit costs obtained from relevant government departments.
The direction and magnitude of our models and estimates are generally in line with other similar projection exercises reported in the literature.
In Mexico, the availability of information on the health system has improved in recent years to the level that it is feasible to carry out different types of projection exercises.
Each may also learn how to exercise imaginative projection more effectively, and to take up the perspective of the other gender.
The database included only exercise stress rest projection sets.
